iPhone classic lands on the siding: Apple makes announcement was

A formerly very popular iPhone model is now being shelved at Apple. The iPhone 6 Plus is now "vintage", but what does this ultimately mean for users?

Update February 15, 2022: As predicted at the end of last year , Apple is adding the iPhone 6 Plus to the list of so-called "vintage products". Means: Support from Apple is officially discontinued with immediate effect. Repairs are only carried out subject to the availability of corresponding spare parts (source: Apple).

iPhone 6 Plus threatens siding

If an Apple product is set to "vintage", the manufacturer's official hardware support ends . Provided spare parts are still available, Apple and its partners can still repair the devices, but there is no formal entitlement to this.

The iPhone 6 Plus will soon fall into this category. From December 31, Apple will put the model on the list of so-called vintage products (source: MacRumors). By definition, they've been out of production for more than five and less than seven years. iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5C can currently be found there. Even older models fall under the category "discontinued products". Apple has discontinued the hardware service for all of these without exception, and service providers can then no longer order replacement parts for these products. But the iPhone 6 Plus isn't quite there yet.

Still worth seeing - the reaction of a xiaomist editor from the Android department to the iPhone 6 Plus at the time:

Standard model of the classic is still spared

But what about the iPhone 6, the standard model with the smaller screen? Apple launched this in 2017, first in Asia, and later also in Europe and the USA again briefly until 2018. Accordingly, the iPhone 6 does not yet fall into the vintage category as it was made longer than the iPhone 6 Plus.

Speaking of which, both models were originally unveiled in fall 2014 and each featured larger displays than the previous iPhone 5, 5s, and 5C. The basic design with a 4.7-inch display (standard model) still exists today and is still maintained by Apple with the current version of the iPhone SE. Good to know: Initially, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus no longer supported the Corona-Warn-App, but this flaw was remedied with the update to iOS 12.5 and the subsequent update of the Corona-Warn-App in February of this year.
